Anderson at'7:30 p.m. on June 15, 1972 in the Council Chamber with the following councilmen present: Mr. Mohr, Mrs. Beal, Messrs. McDonald, Teague" Williams, HersJmer, and Bradshaw. -, Mrs. Campbell,was absent. Continuation of agenda for June 12, 1972 meeting: I - ITEMS ~-CONSIDERED WITH ONE MOTION P~eviously discussed at committee meetings.'op' M~y--24~ 1972-~aj:t:,2, (Preserit::MS:lyo11 Ahqerson; Councilmen Mohr, Campbell, and Bradshaw); May- 31, -1972 (Present: Mayor ,- Anderson; Council- men Mohr, B'eal, Williams, Hershner, Campbell, and Bradshaw); and June 7, 1972 (Present: Mayor Anderson; Councilmen Mohr, Beal, ,Teague, Williams, Hershner, Campbell, and Bradshaw). Minutes of those meetings appear below printed in ~talics. A. Planning COnmUssion Report - May 15, 1972 1. Reconsideration of zone change from RA to R-2 PD, southeast corner Norkenzie and Minda (Richard Miles 2. Reconsideration of zone change from RA to R-2, northeast corner 18th and Bailey Hill Road (Michael Safley) , Planning Commission reaffirmed its recommend~tion to deny both zone changes. Comm tf'\ Mr. Bradshaw moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to confirm the Planning COnmUs- 5/24/72 sion recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. Approve B. Mall Regulations - A proposed ordinance, copies of which were previously dis- tributed to Council members, would bett;er deal wi th kinds of acti vi ties and per- missions in use of the_ downtown mall, and cure some legal insufficiencies' of the present'ordlnance. Manager said it might be well to refer the ordinance to a broadly based ad hoc ci tizens commi ttee for recommendations, and thereby avoid controversy at a public hearing. He explained changes from the present ordinance - climbing, to control "safety problems; fountain, so that persons may not throw trash or use other than for wading or observing; fund raising; seeing-eye dogs will be allowed; different-procedure for granting permits for use of the mall, and providing appeal from failure to obtain a permit. Manager said if the Council does, not wish to est,ablish an ad hoc committee, perhaps an administrative hearing could pe held to at least, give interested persons an opportunity to re- I act and give some input prior to official Council consideration. With regard to legal, insufficiency, Manager said the City Attorn?yfeels the present, <;Jrdinance I is unenforceable since it was adopted on the basis ,of a set of rules, and a violation of those_rules becomes a violation of the ordinance. Councilm~n Mohr~ecommended holding,an,ad~nistrative hearing designed to . eli ci t reasons for the changes in the ordinance, administrati ve _ experien<;:e wi th the present rules, and answers to questions with debate in a way not possible at a committee or public hearing. Mrs. Beal suggested people having an interest in the m{ill regulations should be notified of such hearing to allow ex<?hange of I views at that time rather than at a public hearing. Manager said there would be an effort made to gain widespread participation. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mr. Williams that Manager set up an administrative bearing on the proposed mall regulations ordinance. Motion carried unanimousl.y. Mrs. Beal asked if the Manager would conduct the hearing with the Council attend- ing but not acting. Manager said from the staff standpoint it would be helpful for various departments dealing wit~ mall problems to participate to allow ex- change 6f their problems and problems of people using the mall. Mayor Anderson Comm said it should be understood the administrati ve hearing will not precl ude a 5/31/72 public hearing. Approve C. Downtown Development District Board - Councilman Mohr distributed to other Council members a memo containing his thoughts with regard to certain sections of the proposed ordinance establish~ng a governing board for the Downtown Development District. He suggests a definition of the Board's purpose to include other than . financing and administering the: District, especially to include alternate forms of transportationp and a limitation on the sorts of programs that the revenues could be used to support. He also,suggested that membership include at least two Council members and that the additional appointments be made in the same manner as those for the Eugene Renewal Agency; and that grievances appealed from Board decisionsb~ directed to the Council rather than to the City Manager. Mr. Mohr said he would like to see a Council subconmUttee afJpointed to work with the Downtown Association committee in drafting the ordinance creating the board. I /p '" 6/15/72 - 1 Councilm~Williams said he feels it is a question of whether provision of park- ing by the business communi ty downtown is something they are doing and availing themsel,ves of the tax system in so doing, or an overall public service wi th any number of other public activities involved. Mrs. Beal said she feels the implica- - tions_go beyond a group of people allocating taxes to themselves; the question _. may',hav.et.o,~e resoJ,.ved-whether this kind of organization is necessary if it is .to b~ l~mited onlyt~,additional tax ,for parking. - , Manager said one of the key elements in Mr. 'Jacbbs' presentation of the background for creation of the district was that if it is assumed that the downtown area has to be maintained in an economically strong position and that transportation in general and promotion are part of that process, some method is needed which makes it mandatory that those people who are benefitted will participate. He ,said it was - fouil,d in surveyimjsimilar programs in th€? California cities v~sited that un~versal participation is _ th.e key_ to the succ,ess of the program. , $ince the City is the only agency which has legal way of guarant_eeing that universal participa- tion, the creation of a board wi th legal authori ty to develop financing seems to be the only alternative. This ordinance creates that bOdy-and needs to use the power of the pUblic if the program is to be carried out. Manage:r: ;s~id it is _ generally felt that if the program is to work it must absorb and pay the assess- ment on the 10th and Oak garage because the City cannot be expected to set up a free parking district and also. pay. bonds on the Overpark. Mrs. Beal wondered if the Downtown committee has considered alternatives to park- ing, whether they -have thought of less expensive parking, shuttle busses, special arra,ngements wi_ th the bus company, package deli very. . Vince Farina, member of the Downtown committee~ tiaid even with mass transit, park- ing will be need~d.. He said people within the proposed district are willing to pay a business license fee or ad valorem tax for the very specific purpose of sol v- ing the parking, problem as well as to promote business, downtown. . He said the business pro[llOtion downtown is what will bring property values back and will con- seque.ntl,y benefit the entire City. Mrs. Beal _remarked on the aspect of air pollution connected with parking and the use qf. ?utomobi~e.s.~n _the congested area of the City, aside from the blacktopped areas, needed to accommodate tlle parking,: She felt there should be some study on the impact of the propo~al in that sense. Mrs. Campbell was concerned that the tax would_be recovered from the consumer by an increase in the price of merchandise. Mr. Farina replied that the cost of doing business mu~t be borne by the cons~mer; in order to realize a profit the cost,of operation must be overcome. He said there may be some difference between prices in the downtown area and those in Valley River, but it is debatable; the customers I pay the cost of parking at Valley River since the merchants there pass the cost on the same as any other merchant. He t?aid there would have to be some price adjustment, how much it is not known, becaus-ethe formula is one of the problems to be worked out . by the proposed board. Harry Ritchie, owner of stores both at Valley River and in the downtown area, said prices are the same 'at both stores but business at Valley River has continually increased whereas in the downtown store the volume has, gone down. Comment9 from customers always revol ve around lack of or diffi cul ty in parking. He said several, other programs were explored at great length wi th the concl usion that com- pulsory participation in a free parking program is necessary. He noted that tenants in Valley River pay the parking assessment as part of the lease. Mr. Ritchie ,con- tinued,that all ,of the merchants in the proposed district who are dependent upon I parking are vitally interested in the program. Manager sa,id,it has'been previously discussed that before any funding program is implemented, this Council would expect to have proof of substantial agreement on the plan prior to public hearing, and that no action would be taken on a request from ten people to impose a charge on everyone. Mr. Mohr said for that reason it is very important that a subcommittee of the Council should participate in drafting th,? program. Councilman Williams_wondered whether the Council shQuld participate in the drafting of a financing program, saying that Valley Ri ver and other shopping areas wi thin the City do_not_have Council participation. He said there is littie question that - in terms 'of commercial health, growing and expanding, cost of parking- is of concern. ",' Movement of commercial activities to suburban areas testifies to that. But he does not agree that in_the downtoTt!n area parking is not a matter of business c~ncern and is a matter ofCouneil c6iwern when the Council has no say in what shopping centers provide in the way of parking. He feels the position of the City is to give the businessmen the opportunity to provide that parking. J~7 6/15/72 - 2 Mr. Mohr said he can't disagree with that context, but he feels public policy problems must result from any sort of program such as the one proposed. He cited the instance of rerouting of the Roosevelt Freeway as a result of the location of'Valley River Center. He concurred on the iss ue of free parking as - a business stimulus, but felt major questions would resut such as street im- provements,. lighting, traffic, etc. Mr. Williams said in dealing with the question of funding parking on a downtown basis he does not think the 'public policy issues enumerated would be of concern. Manager said it would be a matter of public concern in that income of the,_ City from its existing parking program, both on- and off":'street, will be affected. So there needs to be City participation in the plan to be de- veloped, either through CounCilor City staff partiCipation. Mrs. Beal' asked on what basis the proposed assessment is to'be levied. Manager replied this has not been deCided and is one of the reasons for creating the board - to have someone to put the program. together. He said discussion has been general in terms of a business license fee or prop~rty tax. CounCilman Hershner said to the degree that a good deal of parking is generated by governmental activities public interest should be involved in the downtown parking situation, and for that reason the Council should participate in structure of the board. Mayor Anderson said he feels the City government in Eugene is committed to a program which will establish downtown business, particularly retail, as a viable, competitive 'center, and that 'he strongly feels this Council is obligated to assist . any groups in the downtown area who through their -own initiative want to improve parking facilities. Since the City established the shopping mall it is-committed also to providing faCilities.to make that'a viable center, and cannot establish a roadblock against the automobile. He said he would be inclined to favor the proposal, 'of, establishing a -subcommittee to' work with the Downtown committee. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to establish a three-member subcommittee of the Council to work with a subcommittee of the Downtown Association in creation Comm of a Downtown Development District Board" to - include a City staff member'as ex,', 5/31/72 offiCio for liaison. Motion carried unanimously. Approve D. Withdrawal from, 'City portion of Somerset> Hills, Annexation (Hawkins Lane area) ',- Councilman Mohr asked that ,the' Council. refex_- to - theP lanning Commission for comment , and recommendation a request for withdrawal from the City of a portion of the area I recently annexed along wi th the Breeden Brothers Somerset West development, lying I along Hawkins Lane south of 22nd and west of City view. He said the area was I annexed through procedural error,:so the_ City should bear the responsibility of initiating withdrawal rather than through petition.. of, the, residents. Time ele- ment is involved because a rezoning petition for property in that area is scheduled for hearing before the Planning commission at itscnext meeting. >,1- . .', Manager explained tha,t the City recommended to the Boundary Commission, in order ,. to gain a.better cOnfiguration of City limits, that it add that portion to the I Somerset annexation. No public notice or hearing was held. The area logically Comm should be within the City, he said, but there is a legitimate question about the 6/7/72 , process. Approve I i .,. , E.

Liquor License Application - Grogg Shop, 1677 Coburg Road'- This application (RMBC), submitted by Robert C. Beckley, was recommended for approv~l at the May 31, 1972 Council meeting wi thout attention being called to the number of objections to its issuance in the neighborhood (13 out of 18 questioned by the local OLCC people). Manager suggested reconsideration of the application at the Comm June 12 Council meeting to allow objections to be heard. It was' understood the 6/7/72 . application will be listed on_the June 12 agenda. Approve G. Civic Center Design Plan (Planning ,Comndssion May 22/23, 1972) - Council was asked to adopt a resolution, copies of _which were previously distributed, endors- ing the concept of the December 1971 civic center design plan and indicating its willingness to be represented on an ad hoc co-ordinating comnd ttee made up of two members from ,each participating agency - Federal government, state of Oregon, Lane County, ci ty of Eugene, and the Eugene Water & Electri c Board. The Planning'Com- mission recommended approval of the _plan, with the stipulation that the Commission is concerned about the recommendations and goals of the design plan as they relate to traffic in that they are in conflict with the transportation element of the.1990 General Plan; approval should in no way admit to ratification of the Skinner.' s Butte Freeway nor in -any _way approve a vehicular-,:oriented civic center design plan. The Commission would like to_proceed with deliberations on the make- up of the ad hoc committee, its goals and charges, which should be subject to fur- ther consideration before the committee begins its work. I Manager explained that official recognition of the_ design plan is needed at this time to protect the plaza concept - separation_of vehicles and pedestrians, 'inte- gration of mass transit, pedestrian access between the center and Skinner's Butte, and potential for joint agreements on maintenance and operation of the common- . area. The Federal government is proceeding wi th plans for' construction of its building on 7th between Pearl and High, the Water Board and the State will be con- structing buildings soon, and all agencies involved have agreed-there is no reason why any future construction should not be compatible with the proposed civic center I design plan. I Adoption of this resolution will be considered by each of the agencies, and there is nothing in its adoption which will preclude actin on those things -about which there is still concern, but indicates a desire to proceed on a joint intergovern- mental, program. The study upon which the design plan is based concludes that the concept of governmental agencies at this location and in a, center of this size is acceptable. Staff people of the various agencies feel to proceed in this direction is proper and so recommend. Mrs. Campbell noted the statement in the plan that Skinner's Butte freeway will be constructed, incl uding a - connection wi th the central distri ct and proposed transportation center, and that the Civic _Center design plan is. predicated on a number of important. changes to existing streets whi ch 'will be the Ci ty , s problem. Manager said the concern of the design people at this poizt in time is the traffic movement need which would be served by the Skinner's Butte freeway. 'Without some other faci1i ty or some other decision made there will be- congestion. Acceptance -: of this design does not . prec1ude other answers _ to that prob1em~rlOr' does endorse- _J' ment constitute endorsement.of the Skinner's Butte freeway. Councilman Bradshaw said it seems that acceptance of this integrated concept would mean acceptance of those problems, if not Skinner's Butte freeway, then something else. Mrs. Bea1 expressed concern about lack of overall planning, about segmentation of the planning group, and the effect that construction of the center will have on other areas. She noted discussion in process concerning creation of a group con- cerned primarily with downtown parking and wondered how so many different bodies can bring the planning into an integrated whole. Planning Director commented on the Commission's concern with this issue and its feeling that the plaza concept for certain administrative functions of government is excellent and needs to be in the central area. He said there are so many unknowns it is difficult to make decisions affecting transportation problems in the future, but in making recommenda- tions for approval of the plan the Commission wanted to make the Council aware of obvious conflicts. Mrs. Bea1 remarked that it would seem better to have full- time staff people to-work on the solution to these problems rather than creating more committees and further segmenting the planning. Manager said it is recognized the point will necer be reached where everything is - planned and accepted by the entire community before construction is started. How- ever, at this time the Federal government is proceeding wi th abuilding, EWEB has purchased the property for their building in the center, andthe County is accumulating a building fund, so that it seems the agencies are more nearly integrated in their planning work to this point than is normal in these situations. He reviewed initia- "- -~ " l I/QCJ 6115/72 - 4 \ tion of the study on which the plan is based, including transportation ~tudi~s and planning, and said there is still going to be a problem .faced in moving tra;ffic unless some facility is provided for that movement. Endorsement of this concept seems to.be the best way at this time to bring about an integrated approach to the problem. . Councilman Bradshaw said the public will be asking why the County building~ and the auditorium are .not located on the Belt Line or in those areas where there is existing transportation, and he suggested the -Council should be prepared to answer these questions. . 'Manager said joint utilization of space is one consideration. Mr. Bradshaw asked if new State construction will be balanced by that, or mass transit construction. Mayor Anderson said there is also the commitment to revitalize the downtown. area.; . work is in progress to change .the character of downtown to combine professional, retail, financial, and government functions. Any change at.this point would not only prove costly but would. perhaps tend to compound errors already made. Councilman Williams asked if the planners wouldstill.be of the opinion that this center should be built should the Skinner's Butte freeway or some other facility not be permitted. Manager said he doesn't think there is an ans~er at this point, that he feels the planners assume that a solution will.be found which will be ac- ceptable. He said he doubts that agencies with plans to locate buildings in, the proposed design plan area will abandon those plans at this stage. Mr. Williams com- mented that the only real queston then is, planned or unplanned; whether there will be congestion or something done to handle th~t congestion. Planning-Director said he feels there will be congestion no matter where any central administrative . area for government is located and_ there are various alternative ways of handling the problem so far as . governmental employes are concerned - work shifts, poo.ling; etc. - that can't be done with the private sector. Manager confirmed Mr. Teague's comment th~t endorsement;: of the design plan con- stitutes recognition of the problems but at this time the Council isno~ saying how they will be handled. Mayor Anderson commented that as a governmental.body it may l?e necessary ~t some time to define "congestion" since things seem to be going in the direction of con- centration of activity in the downtown area and this will have to ~e accepte~ as a trade~off for what is wanted in the outlying a~eas. Councilman Mohr said he thinks one problem to be faced is that this report comes without benefit of public hearing and a thorough understanding of what is proposed. Mrs. Beal asked whether it would be a matter of public hearing, or an item for I approval on the consent calendar. Mayor Anderson said he doesn't fwel the resolution demands a public hearing, that I it merely sets policy this Council will use in making decisions in the future with respect to the civic center. He said every item before the Council is open to public comment, but if the Council wants a full-blovyn public hearing he feels it . would lead to some real " tunnels ," particularly various things which would be brought in supplementary to the discussion. It amounts to accepting some decisions made by other people in the past and is really reserving the right to comment and evaluate certain condi tions that might develop in the future. I Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague to adopt the resolution approving the Civic Center Design Plan, with stipulations recommended by the Planning Commission. Mrs. Campbell asked about the procedure for the recommended street vacations, if the downtown merchants are aware of that and,-whether it will involve them. Manager said each street vacation will go through the normal public hearing procedure. At this time the plan is generally. schematic and when different elements are put together each part will have to be considered at. that time. 'He said there is no answer as to whether any specific street closure will be acceptable. Mrs. Beal said it is probably acJmowledged that nothing can be done about plans of the Federal government with regard to their building and co-ordination with other buil dings. Manager said every encouragement has been given to. the Federal people by this body, the County, and others invol ved in the ci vi c center concept to use that location. .. Councilman Bradshaw noted that his comments were npt in opposition to the design plan or concept, but that he was trying to assess trade-offs. Comm 6/7/72 Vote was taken on the motion as stated, and_ motiop carried unanimously. Approve H. Vacation, Center Way 493 feet more or less south of Martin Street (Brant Enter- prises) - Planning Commission May 22/23, 1972 recommended approval.

I 7/ 6/15/72 - 6 Couilcilinan Teague questioned the cost quoted (figured at about $24 per square foot) . Mr. Lutes said that compares to present-day costs for a building con- structed in a manner consistent with keeping maintenance cost at a minimum. He said over the last 16 years construction costs have gone from less than . $10 to more than $22 per square foot. Mrs. Campbell inquired abOut the location of the center in relation to the Amazon swimming pool. Parks Director said activity areas were taken into 'consideration in locating the center, also development of parking area to avoid further con- gestion. Mrs. Campbell asked whe.ther an ice skating rink is included in future plans. Parks Director replied that that type of recreational facility is regional in nature and would be more suitably located in Alton Baker Park, utilizing park- ing in existence around Autzen Stadium. Mr. Williams also expressed curiosity about the construction cost and asked whether sketches of the inside of the buildings are available. Mr. Lutes offered to send him enlarged~p1ans which he said would give a good idea of the inside. Parks Director commented on the rise in mechanical and labor costs and the tre- mendous increase in costs on other centers recently developed. He said alterna- tives have been built into this plan to get as much as possible for the money spent. Councilman Mohr noted that the plan presented reflects the opinions expressed in a community attitude survey on needs to be met in a community center. He said it is important to recognize the emphasis on the concept of providing centers . on a smaller scale and for activities other than strictly athletic, which has been stressed in planning community centers in the past. In answer to Mrs. Campbell, Mr. Lutes said the costs quoted do not include fur~ nishings, only basi c construction and some. site improvement.. Parks Director said it is planned to split funds in the department's operating budget to buy sufficient equipment to get the center started. Mrs. Campbell ascertained from Mr. Lutes also that kitchen facilities will be included to serve the meeting room, with capability of serving other areas because of the .covered walkways.... -, Michael Sprague, -23l-East 12th Avenue, suggested dome construction at about half or one-fourth normal cost for comparable internal volume of space. Mr. Lutes said dome construction, although more efficient for covering a large area, would not be acceptable for this concept of creating small spaces segregated to avoid noise and confli ct of programs and. acti vi ties. - He sai d his firm's experiences with that type of construction is that although the structural cost is inex- I pensive, the other parts - mechanical systems, partitions, proper installation of doors and windows because of invol vement wi th angles and- slopes - increase I the overall cost rapidly and make it more. than the conventional box-type) construction. Mr. Sprague suggested that feasibility of dome construction be explored to give . the community an experience. It is the type of building the younger people like, he said, and would be a good experiment to determine how people relate -" and how -the. Ci ty. dre!?ponds to it.. He said'it would be consistent with Eugene's goals of-becoming known as a somewhat Unusual and experimental City_. I Comm The Consensus of the Council was that the concept had been approved previously 6/7/72 and this was a progress report on implementation of that concept. Affirm N. Results of Ballot Measures, May 23 Primary - Mayor Anderson commented on the defeat of the l~% County income tax and auto license fee increase ballot measures, saying further steps will probably have to come through the Governor's T.ask Force on School -Financing. He expressed concern that there is still nothing in sight for tax-reform involving local government finances. and. said the proper.ty' tax Comm seems to be the only route unless the Congress enacts legislation ini.tiating a 5/24/72 sizeable revenue sharing program. File O. Lane 'Arts Festival Plans for June 29 to July 9,.-Dlympic Trials - Mrs. Hope Pressman, working on co-ordination of cultural activities in Eugene during the Olympic Trials period from June 29 to July 9 this year, presented Council members with .copies of theschedu1e'of events. She briefly -described what will take place in the way of special exhibitions and events as apart of the cOntinuing . exhibitions and programs, and public programs,. and participants. She said they are concerned primarily wi th filling the hours arouna. the. -trails' events; i. e. , - prior to-1'.:00 p.m. andfrom 7:00 p.m. on. . Mayor Anderson' expressed.appreciation for th~ splendid program designed to augment the track and field events. Mrs. Campbell also thanked Mrs. Pressman for the program which demonstrates a great deal of time and effort spent by many people who perhaps have never had - - ':":~ - /7:J 6/15/72 - 7 " the chance before to participate in City affairs. In answer to Manager, Mrs .'Press- Comm man said ther.e i:s State-wide Ciistribution of knowledge abou,t the e1(e!2ts through 5/24/72 Paul Lansdowne's group, the Chamber of Commerce, 'and the 'AJ;ts Commission. File P. City Council TV Show - Michael Sprague, candidate for Congressman from District IV, - asked the Council to take action to have its meetings taped or broadcast live . on television.. He said the Coqncil then would not have to have 'personal contact ~, wi th the communi ty i'n order for the community to 'become aware of decisions made' in its -behalf~ He said he talked 'to Teleprompter people about the pJ;oposal and that h~ feels they_ should move ahead with encollrage]1len_t _from the Council since ,they were giyen a rate incr_ease_. In reply to Mr. Sprague, Manager said there is no mention_ in Teleprornpter_' s fran-, chise from the City that they broadcast City activities. Councilman Mohr noted that in its presentation to the_Council two years ago for a rate increase'Tele- prompter stated the Cable Company had autpprity_.to proad9d$t a City Co_unci,l s_how and vol unteered one of_ 'their empty channels. / . Mr. Sprarjue asked~the Council to adopti;he p:(oposal and _recqmmend that Council meetings be broadcast over cable televi$ion, and that Teleprompter be requ.ested to make this a reality. He said it would give an opportunity for the community to see what happens before elections this fall. He cited media action in the city of .Coburg and the part it plays in bringing about community involvement wi th the Council in that city. Mayor Anderson said he felt the Council would resppnd affipnatively, to such pro- gramming, but from the standp<i>i!nt of :freedom involved in_ di$s_emination of informa- . tion he does not think the Council would want to place itself in" a position -< politically to force its will on media such as Teleprompter. If it could be done outside official action by the Council, it would be 'good and he 'would encourage it. He suggested that Mr. Sprague propo$e a program 'to Tceleprompter. Mr. Sprague said he feels that i,f Council members do not adopt a program of this nature they are reneging on their responsibility to communicate in as many ways as possible to those who voted them into office. He aSked the Council to request television coverage the same as it asks _ for press coverage. Members of the press present immediately'respDnded that they were not requested ,to be at any of the Council meetings. Pa~l Richards of KEZI'TV sai,p there are very strict FCC regulations ,governing dissemination of puhl_ic information .and that it is not encumbent upon government to undertake a posi ti ve informat.i,on program through thepuhlic airways. -- -. - . - Mayor Anderson again said that if the media asked to televise . Council meetings, he I thinks the Council would be receptive to the idea. Mr. Sprague said he feels it would be a mistake politically not to do it. He said Teleprompter has said they cannot afford to do it. .', - - ,. Councilman, Mohr said there-is no question but that all of t~e media know they are welcome to cover any of the Council meetings, but in view of the results of the -"'.c.' primary election (ballot issues affect.ing City _finances) he doubted' the, effective- ness of such coverage. He said Council will not provide funds to sponsor them- selves on television. Mayor Anderson left ~the committee meeting and Council President Mohr assumed the chair. Mrs. Campbell expressed the opinion that ratings on such a show would be low and asked if it wOilld be the intent to edit lengthy meetings to cut alt much of the routine action. Mr. Sprague said there would be someediting,.but,that would delay broadcast. Councilman Bradshaw said he thinks such a proposal would result in a mass of Comm political speeches and. that the public is subjected to enough pressure now. He 5/24/72 said he opposes the idea. No' action was taken. -, - File Q. Spencer's Butte Improvement Association - Letter received from the Association, copies' of which were distributed previously to Council members, requested recog- nition and, involvement in the planning process of the South Eugene area. Manager .' said there would be concern with rega~d to a.;;surq.nqe that the- people who presume to be representing a neighborhood ~d hav~ng that responsibility do so without being elected. He said there would be no p:(oblem of involviIlg this' group with the planning process in an advisory nature similar to the group in the Laurelhi11 area. _. ...... ~-"-=~ - --: -::-......~ ;; ~~!!: ., .~. .- -P - --.;:'"--".:" --'~ ,.~[::-~. ~ ~~-. " ~ - --- /73 6/15/72 -" 8 - Mrs. Campbell asked whether they are asking for ,representation on the Planning Commission, and Manager replied they are asking to serve on any commission, committee, or advisory group in existence making planning decisions in the South Eugene region. . Mrs. Campbell asked whether LCOG should consider the request since the people in the Association live outside the City limits. Manager said it is not necessary that all Planning Commission members live within the City; however, there are no vacancies on the Commission, which is established by State law. If the group is recogni zed as part of, the commission it woul d have to be on an advisory com- mittee basis. . Public Works Director reported that the Planning Commission at its May 23 meeting received the same_letter from the Association and concluded they could not be recogni zed as, a body because they are not wi th1.n the Ci ty . However, a _ formal letter will be written welcoming them to participate as members of the community. A report on the request will be coming to the Council from the Commission. Mrs. Campbell commented that some of the people of the Spencer's Butte Improve- ment Association appear regularly at City meetings, and they are particul<;J.rly concerned with the South Eugene area and interim density plan for that area now under discussion. .. Further discussion took place on procedure to include the Spencer's Butte people Comm in the structural organization and whether they had representation on the Com- 5/24/72 munity Goals Committee. No action was taken. File . R. City Hall Parking ~ Manager explained that under th~ present method of renting parking space to City employes ($7.50 per month and established when City Hall opened) the pa!king area wi)l be subject to property tax. If that area is put on the tax rolls it would mean an increase of $5.00 per month to employes. Also, there is not enough parking now to accommodate the public and City vehicles. Manager said he feels priority should go first to City cars; second, to the public; and third, to City employes. An arrangement is being developed with the Eugene Water & El~ctric Board for the half-block now being cleared across 8th from the City Hall, and with the Baptist Church on the Cfuartez::-block at the southeast corner of 8th and fligh for rental to Ci ty employes at $ 8,.00 per month. Space so provided will be more than needed, so it is proposed to install meters on the, west end of the EWEB half- boock for daily and/or monthly parking at a higher rate for others than City I employes. Spaces cannot be assigned, parking will be by permit on a first-come, first-served basis to avoid individual rental which would bring the property onto I the tax rolls. Manager said this arrangement is_ temporary since eventual,ly EWEB plans to build on that site. He said the proposal has been discussed briefly with the Employes Association and with union leaders so that they_ are aware, of the change, but there has been no feedback yet. . Mrs. Campbel+ commented that the proposal is consistent with the terms of the propose,d ordinance creating a Downtown Development Board in that' it is recom- mended downtown employes buy parking permits rather than use the free parking. I _ r~ . Michael Sprague asked if .,there is provision for bicycle parking. Manager answered there is no proposal to sell bicyc~e parking spaces to City employes Comm although there are a good many bicycles used and parked at various'locations 5/24/72 around City.Hall..

Mr. Hunt distributed copies of the Agency's budget and explained the Agency will be inva1ved in reviewing the Central Eugene project to determine the leve,l of funding which can be acquired and then finance accordingly.

He said the auditarium is included because the application must be submitted 'now; it' cannot wait for outcome of the'Navember voting, and:HuD will not a1lqw its~inc1usian ata later date should the project be approved. Councilman Mahr said an several occasians the Caunci1 has been cantacted with regard, to price of properties in the downtown area, co.f!iments 'being made that' . ERA has sold propert'ies at _a lower 'price 'than others.' He asked if the applica- tioriwill include funds to make up'the difference. Mr. Hunt said 'adjustments have . ..' t .'., ..' been necessary because of the 10th and Oak assessments and failure af the structure to come up ta,projected,revenues, and because of theconte~p1ated free parking district and hesitancy of people to purchase for fear of'having to carry the assessment in an enlarged district. He said it is a changing si tuatian and /75 6(15/72 - 10 \ difficult to have stabilized land values, bl.!-t that the Agency is trying to gain the maximum dollars out of the land and still -seli the property.' Mr. Hunt fur- ther explained differences between Agency. and private buying and selling of properties, this in answer to Mr. Mohr's comment that a report prepared by Dean Lindholm of the Uni versi ty fO.und that the downtoWn area is overassessed when e compared to shopping centers. Councilman Williams asked whether funds would h~ve to be furnished locally if the non-cash credit were not included for the auditorium, and whether ERA or City funds are committed if the voters do approve the auditorium bond issue. Mr. Hunt replied that if the non-cash credit were not included, and if the voters approve - the l?ond issue, a cash amount will have to be provided; if it is included then the .credi t will be. available and if it is not used will be available for some future time.

Manager reviewed the Planning Commission recommendations (see committee minutes June 7, '1972 - Planning Commission report May 22/23, 1972). Councilman Mohr said he would like to speak to the issue of difference between the language of the resolution, particularly integration of the plaza concept, and that of the Planning Commission recommendation. Manager said it is assumed that in accepting the Commission's qualifications, the resolution, upon adoption, would be so modified. He suggested, in order to clarify the action, that the Commission's stipulations could be made an attach- ment to the resolution when it has been adopted. ~ Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to adopt Resolution 2064. -7 Otto Poticha, 1820 Kona Street, commented on the lack of public notice or opportunity for publi c hearing and discussion of the Design Plan, especially in view of its size - covering approximately nine square blocks. With regard to the language of the resolution, Mr. Poticha noted it does not include the Planning Commission recommendations, and that although the first part is very general, the second part spe~ifically commits the City to the plaza concept as the design of the plan. He said the design plan clearly indicates four square blocks for clustering of buildings for the various agencies so one would assume that building of the plaza and allocation of open space implies that it is the nine-block area rather than the four-blo,ck area. Mr., Poticha noted the Planning Commission recom- mendations indicated the plan does not fit the 1990 Plan. He said the number of proposed parking stalls does not show leadership in helping to generate and promote mass transit facilities. He further questioned whether a plaza is desired in view of the open space required. Dan Herbert, 4450 Hilyard Street, said the statement in the Civic Center Design Plan with regard to transportation is in direct contradiction of many findings and objectives of the transportation section of the 1990 Plan. He said the Transit District has adopted a set of goals directed toward taking care of people who are wihtout, and do not have access to, auto transportation system. Also, to begin activities directed toward induc- ~ ing people to use public transporration. He presented Council members with copies of - proposed amendment to the resolution which would require environmental impact study on the general concept and traffic provisions, and any future development of the Plan must include specific provisions for alternatives. He feels his amendment will give a more posi ti ve and affirmative stance on the issue. He added that the words "transporta- tion facilities" should be used whenever reference is made to parking or off-street parking. 111 Ed Whitelaw, 4801 Potter Street, said he does not approve in any way the Design Plan because it includes low-density use in the plaza concept as well as very specialized uses concentrated in a large area of the central city. He feels there is no substantive meaning to the Plan as presented and no definite alternatives proposed. Also, that it does not provide for citizen participation and review in that there is not enough informa- tion about the Plan on which to base a critique. 4It Ralph Aldave, 4150 Pearl Street, speaking for the Upper Willamette Environmental Defense . Agency, addressed remarks solely to environmental aspects of the Design Plan. He said the entire notion of concentrated, integrated area for governmental services would de- pend upon its environmental impact - noise, air pollution, requirements for transporta- tion facilities, etc. He said if funds happen not to be available for mass transit then the entire concept would have to be changed. He suggested questions with regard to these problems should be answered first to determine whether environmental costs will be higher than the advantage to be gained by an integrated center. He asked the Council to take no action on the Design Plan; or if it is approved, that the resolution be reworded to provide that any support facilities comply with all requirements of the Federal government and Department of Environmental Quality; and, whatever action is taken, that a study be implemented immediately to determine environmental impact of the proposed Design Plan. Alan Seder, 2385 McLean Boulevard, expressed the opinion that there is too much wasted space in the Plan in providing for the plaza concept. He said the extent of Council action should be only to say that the various governmental services will explore rela- tionship of various levels of governments and then design and share space to accommodate that relationship. The plan, he continued, is an inadequate way of planning for growth and expansion of the services, and is probably 25 to 50 years obsolete. .~ James Longwood, member of the architectural firm acting as consultants on the civic center study, reviewed circumstances leading to development of the Design Plan - EWEB purchase of property at 8th and Pearl, expansion of State building at 7th and Pearl, consolidation of County services, vacation of School District building at 7th and High, plans for location of a Federal building in this general area, etc. It was decided to d;te;mine whether it was advisable to house all tha~kind ~f-development in this -area. The team of consultants, in making that determination, was also charged with developing a concept as part of the p~oject. Mr. Longwood further discussed the meetings of the various departments of the several agencies to determine their needs in developing the buildings and the plaza concept and providing for transportation. He said alternative transportation schemes were discussed at many points - there was no 1990 Plan at that time. The idea was to devise a concept which would allow for transportation needs known at that time, and at the same time allow for alternative transportation if and when it became available. He also discussed parking needs and location of facilities to provide for those needs. He said the DEQ ,had a copy of the preliminary report on this Design Plan when it was first issued, but there has been nothing received from them. All in all, he feels the Plan represents a considerable step toward getting five levels of government to consider collectively rather than individually what they want to do, and approval of the Plan is requested on that basis. ~ I Manager disapproved some remarks made about competence of members of the design team ,., I and said he felt some response was necessary to belittling comments made. He noted - that Mr. Longwood was a member of the firm which designed the City Hall and this build- ing, Manager said, is the most successfully functioning building for governmental use he was ever in. Manager said there is nothing in the plan to preclude use of mass transit, hopefully it can succeed in replacing the need for the automobile, but use of the auto as a major method of transportation to and from this type of facility cannot be ignored. So far as the situation now with respect to this plan, it is necessary now for official recognition of its desirability in order for the Federal government to de- sign its building (to be located north of 7th between Pearl and High) to fit in with the integrated concept. If it is to be assumed an integrated civic center will create traffic problems and autos are not to be allowed, it would be better to abandon the idea, because it will be necessary to move people to and from the center. Manager said there is no question that further study of environmental impact is needed. However, there is nothing in this plan designating this is what will actually be built. It ,is a schematic concept showing how the various facilities can be accommodated in this general area and suggests some alternatives which can be included with those developments going ahead at this time. He expressed amazement that it would not be desirable to provide considerable open space nor to have good pedestrian movement between the center and r other pedestrian oriented facilities already located in the downtown area. _ Mr. Aldave took exception to Manager's remarks and said he did not think it appropriate . for Mr. McKinley as an employe of the City to express his views or to make rebuttal to previous statements on this issue. Mayor Anderson answered that the Council would make I judgment on Manager's remarks. He also disapproved remarks with regard to professional , competence of people involved in the Design Plan. He cited the time and effort con- , tributed, much without compensation, by many individuals in the design fraternity in Eugene for the betterment of the community, and to question competence of these people is highly questionable and in bad taste. Mr. Anderson said it is recognized there will !1av~!c:l-EE:_trade-offs, ma!lY...E9! ;p~~asant, but no one can refute the implication that 1-----' lid. I this Council does not support mass transit enthusiastically. He recalled the City's I role in helping the bus system to remain solvent, and said he feels the City is com- mitted to mass transit system and will do everything it can to develop it. I I' I Longwood, in answer to Councilman Mohr, said he support the stipulations recommended ! Mr. , by the Planning Commission. Councilman Mohr expressed the opinion that the Council is being asked to give direction for formation of an intergovernmental committee that will work in co-operation with the staff and Planning Commission and other agencies to set - guidelines, but not to adopt a specific plan as such. He said he wanted to make it . perfectly clear that the vote is on proper machinery to proceed with the problem sol v- ing and development of guidelines. Adoption of the resolution with the attached ~. Planning Commission stipulations will not commit the Council to adoption of the sub- stance of the report. Councilman Williams expressed. concern about transportation with regard to the advocacy of not permitting use of autos to and from the center and the possibility of mass transit system not operating effectively in a community of this size. He suggested addition of language to the Planning Commission recommendation to the effect that ". . . nothing in the above shall be construed as a statement of the Council that movements into and out of the City center should not be improved and developed as much as possible." Mrs. Beal suggested inclusion of Mr. Herbert's amendment which provides that further development of the Plan must include specific modes of transportation in accordance with the 1990 Plan. She feels plaza with parking underneath more desirable than a concentration of buildings surrounded by blacktop. Open space also would provide more viable alternative for mass transit use. Councilman Hershner said he doesn't find anything in the language of the resolution gi ving an indication of pro-auto or anti-auto, it merely stated that there is left open space. He would favor the resolution as presented with the stip~lations from the . Planning Commission. Mr. McDonald concurred, also expressing concern about remarks made with regard to development of the Desi.gn Plan. Nayor Anderson noted that this resolution is being considered by allagenciea involved, and felt it could be adopted wi~h cominents rather than changing its language. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the motion be restated to adopt the resolution with Planning Commission stipulations attached. Motion as restated carried unanimously. Councilman Mohr left the meeting. Resolution No. 2065 - Initiating boundary change and transmitting to Boundary Commission request for annexation of area north of Belt Line and east of River Road (Fred Meyer, Inc.), was submitted.
